ParturXalso is the only product of its kind to contain a full feeding of yeast culture to support rumen function and appetite.

Parturition means birth or calving. Bio-Vet president William Zimmer, DVM, has coined the term “parturition complex” to encompass the numerous interactions of hypocalcemia (milk fever), ketosis, low blood glucose and immune system suppression present at calving. If 10 percent or more of a herd ends up in the hospital pen at any time during the first 30 days of lactation, parturition complex issues are likely present, resulting in significant production losses.

Research has shown over 50 percent of second lactation and older cows suffer from low blood calcium, which may lead to milk fever. Additionally, over 40 percent of all cows suffer from subclinical ketosis at calving. Dry matter intake on calving day also can drop to 40 to 50 percent of normal.

ParturX drench is available in 1 gallon (3.785 L) jugs. ParturX paste is sold in 400 gram tubes.
